You say that “the 50th was supposed to be about the time war” and “it was supposed to be at least 15-20min of daleks with their plan against the multi doctors and their plan , a little bit of fighting ,explosions, and some interesting evil villans plan ,and then the doctors find a solution of the problem in somekind of mindblowing…[Read more]

I’m sorry you didn’t like it, or the 50th. Me, I thought the 50th was, with a few caveats, great, but I thought the Christmas episode had some problems. If you read my post about it you’ll see I had several issues with it. But I still enjoyed it.

Everything must…[Read more]

That’s a lovely idea that Lem is a tribute to Stanislaw Lem. I really hope we see more of Tasha (big fan of Orla Brady). Created by the TimeLords, huh?  Interesting, but comes up against the same problem as my “she is a Time Lord” theory – if that’s the case then why couldn’t she call to the TLs thro the crack – her voice would…[Read more]

@Purofilion and @ScaryB glad you enjoyed it!

What some of our dear participants seem to be missing, is that fan speculation is a form of play. And play is such an important part of being fully alive, whatever age you are. The Doctor w…[Read more]

I completely agree with you I’m sick of people branding moffats writing as lazy and not having any specific reason other than they didn’t like the episodes. If you didn’t like them then just say and don’t blame it on him.

also @d12345 tell me if Moffat hadn’t addressed all of the unanswered questions and tied all the loose…[Read more]

Oh Dear Oh Dear Oh Dear

Crossing genres a little bit here, but as The Joker so succinctly put it… “Why so serious?”

I might not have followed this up except for the comment about Moffat’s writing being “lazy and unmotivated”!! It’s become far too easy to criticise what Steven Moffat has done on the show these last few years, and we’re…[Read more]

@D12345 The Specials are brilliant, and I’m so glad they reunited. Terry Hall is a genius. So is M Smith, and Brix for that matter.

Sorry. Somebody had to say it.

many things have been already said. that’s what happens if you take your time.

Let’s see if I can add some new aspects:

According to the last episode we saw the Doctor was absolutely bluffing in Nightmare in Silver. He could have not got rid of Mr. Clever. (Maybe that is what he kept hidden together with Hurt) with a…[Read more]

Your critical insights are astonishing; ‘boring and unintersting’. Why didn’t I think of that? Yes, of course. The Time of the Doctor as an existential meditation on the nature of old age and approaching death. ’50min of big nothing and 5 final minutes of resolution’ indeed. Deeply, deeply profound.

I await your blog post – The Time of…[Read more]

we didnt found out the doctors name

Errr… yes, we did. After over a thousand years of journeying, from Gallifrey to Trenzalore, his real name is ‘The Doctor’. That’s the one that defines the ‘who’ in ‘Doctor Who?’ He’s The Doctor, the man who makes things better, the man whose job is saving lives. It may have been a mask, a disguise,…[Read more]

In a way, such a resolution would tie into my 4th wall theory. As the show (and the Doctor) goes forward, it is in a unverse where the previous Doctors never existed, but one where they exist in our (ie, the audience’s) memories, and survive (like the lost episodes) as memories.

I was only looping back about 5 years – t…[Read more]

Excellent analysis. I’m don’t really agree about this:

I do like the Doctor-Zero theories, mainly because the Doctor 8.5 concept has never felt right for me

I’m in the other camp on that one. I find D0 concept hard to believe as the Hartnell Doctor seems so lost at the beginning. To me he has little practical experience in…[Read more]

@d12345 Nah, I don’t think it is so easy. I do agree that it is something that should persuade the Doctor to do something or provides some kind of missing information. But from who?

Currently Orphan Black, recently Broadchurch. But I think we are just going to have to differ on this. I particularly liked the (mostly) unrelated stories in series 7. But I also like the arc based series – so long as the writers are coming up with good ideas rather than doing the same thing/not doing the same thing just for the sake of it.

What are your favourite shows. You can tell us about them here. I’d be interested in sci-fi genre shows with 24 episodes a series you think would rate a 9/10.

In my opinion it’s currently mostly 9+ and occasionally a 10.  Wouldn’t argue about a 24 episode series, but I doubt it’s going to happen 🙁

Sorry if I picked you up wrongly,  I was responding to

a big judgment day for all doctors and all they have done

Re

Why would the zero doctor be his greatest secret ?

For the same reason a future Doctor could be. But I still go back to Matt referring to him in the past tense. (And if you think we’re picky on here about grammar etc,…[Read more]

If he is a future Doctor, why does Matt refer to him in the past tense? (“He’s the one who broke the promise”)

Also  “Count the regenerations…” If there is a Doctor Zero before Hartnell then Hartnell becomes the first regeneration rather than the first Doctor, so everything moves on 1 from what we thought ie 11 becomes 12. It works…[Read more]

Thank you.

I think I may have started the Doctor Zero theory with this post:

http://www.thedoctorwhoforum.com/forums/topic/s33-7-14-the-name-of-the-doctor/#post-9595

Either before the first Doctor or, as @Bluesqueakpip suggested, a Doctor who does not count as the Doctor so counts as zero.

And I wouldn’t focus too much on the number of…[Read more]

@Wolfweed Love the pic of the 4 Doctors, even if they have made #1 look more like Bradley than Hartnell 🙁   Thanks for doing the composites – I’m still not convinced either way. There IS a passing resemblance to Hurt (if you squint at t…[Read more]

On English language forums, unless you are just posting one or two sentences, it is expected that you will break up your text into short paragraphs. Just like I did here 😀

You can do what you want, I’m not telling you what to do, but I can confirm that you’ll be ignored if you don’t split your text up. Just hit “Enter” a few times.

And Shazzbot didn’t call you a roach, she was just comparing you to a roach. It’s slightly…[Read more]

I hope you will live up to that. You have made some good points but you are not expressing yourself well.

It’s not “my house, my rules”. Far from it. Everything goes here. I’m not telling you what to do. But I’d like to point out that your posts will not be read if they are…[Read more]

Languages are very different , for example we Croatians write this kind of way only in formal occasions

Yes, but this is an English language forum: our house; our rules

But more to the point, a paragraph break after “i undersand what you are saying.” would make you post MUCH easier to read.

All of the seasons of Who have an “arc” –  the…[Read more]

If you take a look at the Website Comments, you’ll see a very long conversation about the redesign of this site, and the impact of various styles on dyslexics. I’m one of them.

It would be epically helpful if you would use spaces with punctuation. Your posts reading like a kid who has been given WAY too much sugar. I try to avoid being a grammar Nazi, but seriously: show some consideration for your readers.

A single space after ALL punctuation. Capital letters at the beginning of sentences.
